I realize I have serious anxiety problems ever since I started working. I mean I was painfully shy in school and there was one time I planned to meet a classmate in a canteen, I got all psyche up and started to sweat and shiver profusely...it was embarrassing and the person avoided me after that.
My first job was a retail one, selling cookies and stuff. I had to do promotion and everything and it was pretty hard for me. I had to face customers and yes I messed up so I got booted after that.
So now I still got another one that requires me to face customers and I always have difficulty breathing and it makes me mess up and look confuse when actually i'm not but is my anxiety that is getting into me.
How do I calm myself? I always feel so nervous, it's hard to control..
breathe deeply during those situations. and before meeting or when u start feeling nervous. try talking to yourself. as in not out loud but maybe jus for yrself to hear. say whatever u're feeling, how nervous and all that shit. it works for me when im nervous. if it gets really bad, consult professional counselling? good luck :D
what kind of situations make you nervous? meeting new people?
Like what ghast had said, close your eyes and try to breathe deeply and empty your mind of all thoughts whenever you're feeling nervous. Drinking some water will help to calm you down too.
Try to seek professional help if it's real bad.
so whr u work.
we'll go find u.

how about go take up courses to on communication? maybe u need to socio more oso?
having read all yr previous threads on tis issues, seriously, yr self-confidence n working ability = CMI, no wonder u ar still hanging empty in life
u can rant here in forums all u want but u'll just be as useless as before if u don't do something abt it, like attend courses.
if u really can't face ppl, then find a job which u don't have to!! like factory work or admin work
See a doctor cuz maybe your body chemical is not in balance.If nothing else works then try Po Chai pills
U need to psycho yr mind! Tell yrself there is nothing to be afraid of the customer u face. They are not going to eat u up!
Prove yrself as a man..
You basically have very very low self esteem... Work on that and all your problems will fall of its own weight, including your anxiety problems..

You should pay a visit to your nearest GP for immediate consultation.
You might need to take some anti-anxiety medication for a while.
If it's not a psychology problem, then it's probably caused by some damage in your brain.
Have you had any accident to your head previously in the past?
hi ts,
your anxiety problem might take some time to overcome, if u force yourself maybe it might get worst.
how about considering looking for a job that dont require u to face customer directly? u can look for job that talk to customer over the phone instead. job like helpdesk, customer service over the phone might be suitable for u.
Where you work at. Maybe we can help you :)
